The 50th Annual Salamander Meander

Witness the annual natural phenomena of the dance of the yellow-spotted salamander. You are invited to join staff members at the heart-shaped pond, in Hemlock Ravine Park, to learn about salamanders and observe these mysterious creatures in their natural habitat.
